A bridge in coffee grounds: what does it mean?

  • transition
  • reconciliation
  • overcoming obstacles
  • connection

A bridge in coffee grounds is a symbol of transition and reconciliation. By tradition it means you will get past an obstacle or restore a lost connection.

What does a bridge in a coffee cup mean?

A bridge joins two shores, so in the cup it means connection: between people, between old and new. It can point to making up, a new collaboration or a trip abroad. The bridge says there is a way through.

Where does a bridge appear: rim, bottom or handle?

Near the rim, a reconciliation or transition is said to happen soon. At the bottom it is a long process moving step by step. By the handle it is relationships being restored between family members.

Big, small or blurry: what changes the meaning?

A solid, whole bridge means a successful crossing. A broken bridge traditionally advises giving it time and not forcing things yet. A long bridge points to a distant journey.

The bridge and relationships

If a relationship has cooled, the bridge means it is time to make up. Take the first step: one warm message can change a lot.
